Cleavage fracture of warm brackish ice

Two sets of cleavage (cracking parallel to the ice surface) fracture toughness tests were conducted at the Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) on brackish ice harvested from two separate locations in the Gulf of Bothnia. The ice was split using a pin-loaded compact tension geometry. The fracture tests w...

Description
Summary:Two sets of cleavage (cracking parallel to the ice surface) fracture toughness tests were conducted at the Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) on brackish ice harvested from two separate locations in the Gulf of Bothnia. The ice was split using a pin-loaded compact tension geometry. The fracture tests were accompanied by tensile and compressive tests. This paper discusses the experiments and the results.
